Recycling Of Consumer Packaging Material Is For Robots Not Humans


A Bright Future For Robots

Recycling of consumer waste by unpaid humans is inconvenient, a nuisance and a hassle.

Just read a summary of an article titled “Artificial Intelligence Helps Sort Used Batteries”. This article reminded me of my long held opinion that government efforts called recycling by having a large part of the population constantly separate trash by different categories is a nice modern public works program for its citizens exploiting their cheap labor.

German Efficiency And Uniformity To The Max

In Germany, its citizens have been mandated by big government since about the 1980s to comply with a nationwide “Trennmüll Sammlung” (separation of trash by various categories into different bins). All over the country, you find recycling bins at residences, businesses as well as in public spaces even for clear, green, and brown colored glass. A whole industry sprung up created by government mandate.
